....isn't that the exact definition of a bias?

Why are we scared to say some are better than others on this site, or at least state our favourites? Surely someone will come to each rez's defense...

It's in my job description to be unbiased.
As VP Communications I am unbiased but as a student at large I'm a Whiddenite for life. I'm not scared to say which are better than others I'm just not allowed to.

But we're barely even talking about advantages of certain residences!

I just feel like saying EVERYTHING IS AWESOME is not helpful.

Edwards is pretty much in the middle of campus... If you have classes in BSB or the Arts Quad it's REALLY awesome.

Sigh.. I don't like the fact that Moulton and the other North Quad residence buildings are soo far from the centre of campus :( and all my classes. So that's definitely a disadvantage.

Moulton is in West Quad! And honestly... its a 3 minute walk to the center of campus. I've lived in Wallingford for the past two years and sometimes I would wake up at 8:20 for an 8:30 and make it to the arts quad with time to spare. If you're headed to BSB it would take you even less time. Moulton is RIGHT behind Wallingford so you'll be fine next year Sara!

No one needs to worry about making big treks across campus just because you're in a certain rez. Nothing is more than a 15 minute walk (and thats if you're super slow!)

Ohh Oops Thanks Callen! I just assumed that the online map of McMaster was facing North. Thanks! I'm glad Mac's campus isn't as big as other places like U of T's (where I get lost all the time ) but I guess it's just the panicking from having two required classes that are back-to-back in buildings that are a bit far from one another, and all are away from my res building.
15 minutes doesn't sound too bad. Thanks Callen, you gave me hop that it might be do-able after all
